The electronic device 1 provided in this embodiment has a display 12, a pressure sensor 14 and a processor 16. A first object (not shown) is displayed on the display screen of the display 12. The pressure sensor 14 is used to sense a force applied to the display 12. The processor 16 calculates a moving position according to the sensed force, and controls the first object in the display screen to move up or down to the moving position according to the moving position.

Further, the electronic device 1 provided in this embodiment is used to implement the game control method provided by the present invention, and at least one exemplary embodiment will be provided below.

[An embodiment of the game control method]

Please refer to FIG. 2A. FIG. 2A is a flowchart of a game control method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

The electronic device 1 provided in the foregoing embodiment can execute the game control method provided in this embodiment. Therefore, please refer to FIG. 1 at the same time. In general, the steps of the game control method provided in this embodiment include: sensing a force applied to the display 12 through the pressure sensor 14 (step S101); and transmitting through the processor 16, according to the sensed The urging force calculates a moving position and controls the first object in the display screen of the display 12 to move up or down to the moving position according to the moving position (step S103).

For further explanation, please refer to FIG. 3A. FIG. 3A is a schematic diagram of a display screen of the display when the electronic device of FIG. 1 performs the game control method of FIG. 2A. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3A, the first object O1 is displayed on the display screen 121 of the display 12 of the electronic device 1, and the first object O1 is located at an initial position P0. The display screen 121 is composed of a background block 122, a moving block 124, and an obstacle block 126. In step S103, when the first object O1 is controlled to move up or down, the first object O1 is controlled to move within the moving block 124, and when all or part of the first object O1 moves to the obstacle block 126. The processor 16 of the electronic device 1 stops controlling the movement of the first object O1 in the moving block 124. In short, in step S103, when all or part of the first object O1 is moved to the obstacle block 126, step S103 ends.

For example, the first object O1 may be a two-dimensional or three-dimensional aircraft-shaped object, and the obstacle block 124 may be a two-dimensional or three-dimensional rock-shaped pattern block. In this example, the user's pressing force on the display screen of the display 12 of the electronic device 1 can be detected by the pressure sensor 14 to control the shape of the aircraft to move up or down the moving block 124.

Further, the shape and area of the obstacle block 126 are related to the type of the first object O1. In the previous example, the first object O1 may be a two-dimensional or three-dimensional aircraft-shaped object, and the shape and area of the obstacle block 126 are related to the shape of the first object O1. For example, if the first object O1 is a two-dimensional or three-dimensional helicopter-shaped object, the shape and area of the obstacle block 126 can be set to the shape and area of the building scene, or if the first object O1 is a two-dimensional or three-dimensional fighter-shaped object, and the shape and area of the obstacle block 126 can be set to the shape and area of the mountain wall cave.

[Another embodiment of the game control method]

For a more detailed description of the game control method provided by this embodiment, please refer to FIG. 2B, which is also a flowchart of a game control method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

The game control method provided in this embodiment can be executed by the electronic device provided in the foregoing embodiment, so please refer to FIG. 1 at the same time. In general, the steps of the game control method provided by this embodiment may be described as: sensing the applied force applied to the display (step S201); determining whether the sensed applied force is less than the lower limit of the applied force (step S202) The calculated moving position is a starting position of the first object displayed in the moving block (step S203); the calculated moving position is the first moving position, wherein the sensed force is the first applied a force (step S204); determining that the first applied force is smaller than the second applied force when the sensed applied force is changed from the first applied force to the second applied force (step S205); the second moving position is located in the moving block The height inside is higher than the height of the first moving position in the moving block (step S206); determining whether the first applied force is zero (step S207); the second moving position is that the first object is displayed in the moving block The starting position (step S208); the height of the second moving position within the moving block is lower than the height of the first moving position within the moving block (step S209).

Finally, in step S204, step S206, step S208 and step S209, after the first moving position or the second moving position is calculated and the first object O1 is moved to the first moving position or the second moving position, It is further determined whether all or part of the first object O1 has moved to the obstacle block 126. If it is determined that all or part of the first object O1 has not moved to the obstacle block 126, the process returns to step S205; and if it is determined that all or part of the first object O1 moves to the obstacle block 126, the control of the first object is stopped. O1 moves within the moving block 124.

For further explanation, please refer to FIG. 3A to FIG. 3E . FIG. 3A to FIG. 3E are schematic diagrams of display screens of the display when the electronic device of FIG. 1 performs the game control method of FIG. 2B .

First, as shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2B and FIG. 3A, the first object O1 is displayed on the display screen 121 of the display 12 of the electronic device 1, and the first object O1 is located at an initial position P0. The display screen 121 is composed of a background block 122, a moving block 124, and an obstacle block 126. Since the pressure sensor 14 is disposed under the display 12 of the electronic device 1, the pressure sensor 14 senses the force applied by the user to the display 12 in step S201. As shown in FIG. 3A, initially the first object O1 is located at an initial position P0 in the display screen of the display 12. When the pressure sensor 14 senses the applied force applied to the display 12, it proceeds to step S202.

In step S202, it is determined by the processor 16 of the electronic device 1 whether the force applied by the pressure sensor 14 is less than the lower limit of the force application. The purpose of step S202 is to eliminate the possibility of the user accidentally touching the display 12. Further, when the user simply puts a finger or other part on the display and does not want to start executing the game control method, the force applied may be less than a minimum force applied, so this is defined as a Lower limit of force. In step S202, if the processor 16 determines that the applied force sensed by the pressure sensor 14 is less than the aforementioned lower force limit value, the process proceeds to step S203. In step S203, the movement position calculated by the processor 16 is the starting position P0 of the first object O1 displayed in the moving block 124. That is, if the processor 16 determines that the force applied by the pressure sensor 14 is less than the aforementioned lower force limit, it may be caused by a user's accidental touch, so the processor 16 does not control the first. The object O1 moves so that it remains displayed at the starting position P0 within the moving block 124.

On the other hand, in step S202, if the processor 16 determines that the urging force sensed by the pressure sensor 14 is greater than or equal to the aforementioned urging lower limit value, the process proceeds to step S204. In step S204, the movement position calculated by the processor 16 is the first movement position P1, wherein the sensed force is the first force application. That is to say, if the processor 16 determines that the applied force sensed by the pressure sensor 14 is greater than or equal to the aforementioned lower limit of the applied force, it indicates that the user wants to start executing the game control method. At this time, the processor 16 converts the corresponding moving position (here defined as the first moving position P1) according to the urging force sensed by the pressure sensor 14, and controls the first object O1 to move to the first moving position. P1. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the height of the moving position calculated by the processor 16 in the moving block 124 is proportional to the force sensed by the pressure sensor 14. In other words, if the force applied by the pressure sensor 14 is greater, the height H1 of the first movement position P1 calculated by the processor 16 in the moving block 124 is higher.

In order to control that the first object O1 does not move to the obstacle block 126 when moving in the moving block 124, the user may change the applied force applied to the display 12 (for example, changing from the first applied force to the second applied force) ), the first object O1 is controlled to evade the obstacle block 126 in the moving block 124 in a timely manner.

In this embodiment, if the user wants to control the first object O1 to move to a higher position in the moving block 124, the user must increase the force applied to the display 12 (ie, the second force is greater than the first force). Conversely, if the user wants to control the first object O1 to move to a lower position in the moving block 124, the user must reduce the force applied to the display 12 (ie, the second force is less than First force).

As shown in FIG. 1 , FIG. 2B , and FIG. 3B to FIG. 3D , in the embodiment, when the applied force sensed by the sensor 14 is changed from the first applied force to the second applied force, the first object O1 is The processor 16 controls movement from the first movement position P1 to the second movement position P2 with an equal acceleration. In the above, the processor 16 determines to control the movement of the first object O1 to a higher position or a lower position in the moving block 124 according to the change in the magnitude of the applied force sensed by the sensor 14.

As shown in FIG. 3B, when the urging force sensed by the sensor 14 is changed from the first urging force to the second urging force, in step S205, the processor 16 first determines whether the first urging force is smaller than the second urging. force. If the processor 16 determines that the first applied force is less than the second applied force, it proceeds to step S206. In step S206, the processor 16 controls the first object O1 to move to the second moving position P2, and the second moving position P2 calculated by the processor 16 is located in the moving block 124 at a height H2 higher than the first moving position P1. The height H1 is located within the moving block 124.

Conversely, if the processor 16 determines that the first applied force is greater than the second applied force, then proceeds to step S207. In step S207, the processor 16 further determines whether the second applied force is zero. Further, during the execution of the entire game control method, a situation may occur that the user suddenly does not exert pressure on the display 12, and thus the processor 16 determines that the first applied force is greater than the second applied force, the processor 16 It is further determined whether the second applied force is zero (i.e., the user suddenly does not apply pressure to the display 12). As shown in FIG. 3C, if the processor 16 determines that the second applied force is zero, it proceeds to step S208. In step S208, the processor 16 controls the first object O1 to move to the second moving position P2, and the second moving position P2 calculated by the processor 16 is that the first object O1 is initially displayed in the moving block 124. Start position P0. In other words, during the execution of the entire game control method, if the user suddenly does not apply pressure to the display 12, the processor 16 controls the first object O1 to fall to the first object O1 at an equal acceleration and is initially displayed on the movement. The starting position P0 within block 124.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3D, if the processor 16 determines that the first urging force is greater than the second urging force but the second urging force is not zero, the process proceeds to step S209. In step S209, the processor 16 controls the first object O1 to move to the second moving position P2, and the height H2 of the second moving position P2 calculated by the processor 16 in the moving block 124 is lower than the first moving position P1. The height H1 is located within the moving block 124.

In short, if the user applies a force applied to the display 12 at the current time point greater than the applied force applied to the display 12 at a previous point in time, the processor 16 controls the first object O1 in the moving area. The block 124 moves to a higher position with an equal acceleration. Moreover, if the user applies a force applied to the display 12 at the current time point less than the force applied to the display 12 at a previous point in time, the processor 16 controls the first object O1 in the moving block. 124 moves to a lower position with an equal acceleration. In addition, if the force applied by the user to the display 12 at the current time point is suddenly zero, the processor 16 controls the first object O1 to fall into the moving block 124 at an equal acceleration to the first object O1. The starting position P0 in the moving block 124.

It should be noted that, in step S204, step S206, step S208 and step S209, the first moving position or the second moving position is calculated and the first object O1 is moved to the first moving position or the second movement. After the location, the processor 16 further determines whether all or a portion of the first object O1 has moved to the obstacle block 126. If the processor 16 determines that all or part of the first object O1 has not moved to the obstacle block 126, the processor 16 performs step S205 again to continuously control the movement of the first object O1 within the moving block 124. However, if the processor 16 determines that all or part of the first object O1 has moved to the obstacle block 126, the processor 16 stops controlling the movement of the first object O1 in the moving block 124, and the embodiment is terminated. A control flow of the game control method provided.

Similarly, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3A, the area of the moving block 124 is smaller than the area of the background block 122, and the block 126 is partially overlapped with the moving block 124. Further, the shape and area of the obstacle block 126 are related to the type of the first object O1. In the previous example, the first object O1 may be a two-dimensional or three-dimensional aircraft-shaped object, and the shape and area of the obstacle block 126 are related to the shape of the first object O1. For example, if the first object O1 is a two-dimensional or three-dimensional helicopter-shaped object, the shape and area of the obstacle block 126 can be set to the shape and area of the building scene, or if the first object O1 is a two-dimensional or three-dimensional fighter-shaped object, and the shape and area of the obstacle block 126 can be set to the shape and area of the mountain wall cave.

In addition, during the execution of the entire game control method, the area displayed on the screen 121 by the obstacle block 126 may be the same or different at different points in time, so the obstacle block 126 overlaps with the moving block 124. The area will also become larger, smaller, or remain the same at different points in time.

Notably, in the present embodiment, the first object O1 is initially displayed at the starting position P0 in the moving block 124, and at this point in time, the starting position P0 is located in the moving block 124 but not Located within the obstacle block 126. However, once the first object O1 is initially controlled to move according to the applied force sensed by the pressure sensor 14, the area displayed on the screen 121 by the obstacle block 126 may be the same or different at different points in time, This starting position P0 may be caused to fall within the area where the obstacle block 126 overlaps with the moving block 124. Therefore, in step S208, although the processor 16 controls the first object O1 to fall to the initial position P0 initially displayed in the moving block 124 at the equal acceleration, the starting position is at the time point. P0 may fall within the area where the obstacle block 126 overlaps with the moving block 124, so it is necessary to determine in step S210 whether all or part of the first object O1 has moved to the obstacle block 126.
